Consulting with Indigenous groups
With its August 2018 decision, the Federal Court of Appeal provided a clear path forward on the Trans Mountain Expansion Project (TMX). We re-initiated Phase III consultations on TMX with all potentially impacted Indigenous groups. We committed to doing the hard work necessary to see this project move forward through meaningful consultations, overseen by the Honourable Frank Iacobucci, complemented by the NEB’s consultations on the impacts of marine shipping.

Where we’ve been
Why it’s so important
There is no relationship more important to the Government of Canada than the one with Indigenous Peoples.
We are moving forward by engaging in meaningful two-way dialogue, guided by the decision of the Federal Court of Appeal. Our path allows us to move forward in the right way, through meaningful consultations. Our top priority is getting this right – and we are working hard to do just that.
